About this deal

At this price point, significant concessions are unavoidable, but Seiko has been able to make them not be too apparent or painful. The result is a watch that is not perfect, but does a lot of things very right for very little money. Seiko has achieved something rather incredible with the SNK807. They managed to create an extremely affordable automatic watch, throwing in a day/date complication as a bonus and succeeding at hiding its true price pretty well. I expected to find significant concessions in the movement, but Seiko has improved it’s calibre a lot over the past two iterations. Whereas the 7S26(A) was once notorious for losing up to 30 seconds per day, the 7S26C has reduced that to a very reasonable 3-5 seconds a day. The beautiful blue dial of the SNK807 feels like a well-executed exercise in restraint. There are no distracting elements present and Seiko did a good job on making the dial clean and legible.

The SNK807 comes with Seiko’s own Calibre 7S26C, a budget movement found in many Seiko 5’s and Seiko SKX-divers. It has a fairly standard power reserve of 40 hours. The SNK807 is fitted with sword hands for the hours and minutes. The seconds hand closely resembles a straight pin. It has its end tipped in red, which really adds some interest to the watch as a whole. The hour and minute hands both have a lume filling that do their job more than sufficiently. The second hand has lume in its counterweight.
